Our Trip to Texas

Our last hoo-raa before the summer's end was a Trip to my Grandparents in Texas! Their Ranch is one of my favorite places on earth! We make this our vacation Every year, and it's always so wonderful!
Now I may be completely bias... But Texas is were it's at!   The way of life there, is something everyone should experience!  I LOVE that my boys get to experience the Ranch Life with my Grandparents, where they are learning traits that will be instilled in them for life!  From watching True Cowboys, who day in day out work cattle on land that go as far as the eye can see.  And the everyday things,  like simply opening a door for a woman, removing you hat at the table, saying please and thank you, yes ma'am, lifting your hand to every car that passes on the country roads. It's something everyone does there... and something WE RARELY SEE HERE IN CALIFORNIA!

 Like all things... The Frogs ARE BIGGER in TEXAS!! Every evening we watched the boys hunt frogs! One night we (THEY) caught 23!

   Look who we found!!  Lindsay happened to be in town for the Spicer Grip Roping! Shes no stranger to Hereford though..  when we were young she came to Grandma and Grandads with me for the summer!

Swimming in the water tanks was one of the must do things while there! They weren't too sure at first, so mama had to get in first and assure them it wasn't yucky!  Ohh I don't know about these California boys... I never thought twice about stepping in the moss that grows on the bottom!

I love that the boys get to experience the same things I did every summer as Child, those memories that were made are still to this day the fondest most dear to my heart. I'm sure these boys will feel the same way!

I guarantee you this dirt devil that tore through us is something they won't soon forget! Those things HURT!! YIKES... and that was a tiny one too!!  Ohh Glorious West Texas Wind!!

Of course they had to ride Granddad's Horses! No Texas Trip would be complete without cowboyin'!

 We Can't Go Texas without coming home with new boots for the family!
Joe's Boot Shop is the place to do that! Joe is Grandad's Brother! I suggest if you need boots... Get em, there!

This little four wheeler has had some love through the years!  The photo on the left is my Brother Jake and I ohhh about 28 years ago... And here you see Drew Scooting around on it now!  

Well That's all folks! Hope Y'all enjoyed my over board photo post! This was our last photo before we hit the road.. always so tough saying our goodbyes! Breaks my heart I'm not closer to my family! 

We Love them so much! 

Thats a First

That's my Big First grader right there!  This precious boy of mine is just growing like a weed. His first day was fantastic, as he gave is a 130 on a scale of 1-100!!! The start of school is great for Drew.. but baby brother is ohhh so lonely without him!   It's only been one day, and  it's going to take some getting used too for little brother who cries at the door wanting to go get big brother!  I better start scheduling play dates for the little guy! Preschool will be here SOON though! What ever will I do with all my free time!!

Trent wouldn't leave his side!

This little light of mine...

I'm gonna let it shine!

Here I share with you a photo from the Day I was Baptised!

Shared with So Many Special people, as well as one huge Congregation, that day... This was one of the most meaningful amazing moments of my life!

         Pastor Gary, whom I love baptised me, and I couldn't have ask for a better man to do it!

Though I was 30 years old, the timing was Great (a little late)...BUT  It's NEVER too Late!

Praise God!

The Johnsons Do Disney

         We recently went to Disneyland, along with my sister-in-law and the nephews! Of course we had  a blast.. even though it rained, A LOT.. it didn't slow us down one Bit!!

Time Flys when you're having fun Right?  We're currently half way through Drew's Sprig Break, and It's dumped rain almost the entire week!! Boo to that!!

We've recently added a little girl to the Johnson Bunch! She's a precious little Black Lab...  named June Bug, but the boys call her Junie!

 She's a doll, and I told Jess  " Here's that girl you've been wanting "  Hehehe!

Here are some Instagram Shots (my favorite Social Media Tool EVER) You can follow at Jacklynj

Junie and the Boys out at the In-laws place!  Which is so beautiful and Green this time of year!

This was her first and last very short lived moments in the house!! She doesn't dare attempt to run in anymore! I'm a mean mean mama!!

We Are Loving our Junie, and are looking past her insane chewing problem ;)  Anyone have any helpful tips on that? I Sure Hope SO!!
